Dear Family and Friends,

I am doing great here. I am in the Kansas City.
We only cover one ward, which is so large that we have two sets of missionaries
in the ward. My companion is Elder Weatherford. He has been out for 11 months and is
still waiting on a visa to travel to India. He was told that he could
leave in one month to India. We are living in an apartment in the center
of our ward. We have a car half time and the other Elders in the ward have it
the other times. The other Elders are Elder Cortes and Elder Bittion and
both of them can’t drive so we have the car full time.

Last week Wednesday I flew into Kansas City
airport. It was Fun flying again. We flew in a small airplane there was
about 60 people on the plane. President Keyes and his wife picked us up in Two 15 passenger
vans with one pulling a large trailer and their SUV. The trailer had
over 2300 pounds in it. We went to the temple first and took
pictures in front of the Temple. After the Temple we went to the Liberty Jail
and then to the Visitor Center in Independence. All
23 Elders and Sister went to Presidents Keyes house for the
night where the APs talk to us and we had interviews with President.
Sister Keyes fed us real well. Thursday we all got our new companions
and went off to our new areas.

Church yesterday was good, we only
attend one ward the Kansas 1st ward. We had one investigator David.
He just started to quit smoking this last Tuesday. He is doing
great with stopping. I got to help him set up his tablet so he could
read the Scriptures on it while it read it to him. We are teaching Lots of
other people and 2, 8 year old boys that need to hear the lessons before they
can get baptized. We have P-day on Monday I am doing great here. The weather
here is nice. Learning lots and trying to memorize the lessons. I got the first
lesson done with. The ward is so nice here. The apartment is nice and
new. I am loving the car but still need to get a bike. I am loving it
here. I miss all of you
